Atlanta United's Trophy Haul: From Underdogs to Overachievers (Literally, How Many Trophies?)
Let's face it, Atlanta sports fans haven't exactly been spoiled with championship parades. But fear not, my friends, because Atlanta United has emerged as a shining beacon of sporting glory in the ATL. Now, the question on everyone's mind (besides "what is Josef Martinez eating for breakfast today?") is this: just how many trophies does this team have us celebrating?
Hold onto your metaphorical scarves, folks, because we're about to dive into the glorious trophy cabinet of Atlanta United!
Tip: Jot down one takeaway from this post.
From Expansion Team to Champions: A meteoric rise
QuickTip: Skim the first line of each paragraph.
Atlanta United entered Major League Soccer with all the fanfare of a newborn giraffe – a little wobbly, but full of potential. Then, in a move that surprised everyone except maybe their ever-enthusiastic supporters (affectionately known as the "Five Stripes Faithful"), they defied the odds and snagged the MLS Cup in 2018. That's right, folks, in just their second season, Atlanta United went from expansion team to champion – an MLS record!
Tip: Compare what you read here with other sources.
But the party wasn't over yet! Atlanta United went on a trophy-collecting spree, adding the U.S. Open Cup in 2019 and the Campeones Cup (a fancy way of saying the North American trophy) in the same year.
QuickTip: Go back if you lost the thread.
